Oh Mike and Kirk, I am just now seeing this. I am so very sorry. Your mother was one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She gave her heart and soul to our Believers group. She loved her family and she loved the Lord. There is a celebration in Heaven. There will be soooo many to greet her when she gets to Heaven. The lives she has touched and changed…mine being one of them. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all.
Love this sweet lady. Never a harsh word spoken about her. She was always so kind to me when I worked with her at Siemens. May she Rest In Peace and rejoice in the gates of Heaven. You will be missed
Heaven has gained a precious angel. One of the finest ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My heart is heavy to know this wonderful lady is no longer with us but also happy that she is rejoicing in Heaven. Heartfelt condolences to the family.
